Capitol Hill

 
 

Welcome to Capitol Hill

Home to monuments and politicos
 
Filled with 19th-century row houses and a vibrant nightlife and dining scene, Capitol Hill is home to many politicos who value its historic surroundings.

The U.S. Capitol is the centerpiece of the town, but other monuments serve as local attractions too: The Italian-Renaissance style Library of Congress, the Folger Shakespeare Library, and the U.S. Botanic Garden at the base of Capitol Hill offer plenty of recreation for residents on the weekends.

Featuring some of D.C.’s most historic properties and national parks, real estate here is varied. Many repurposed schools and commercial buildings now offer pricey loft properties, but renovated row houses—most priced at $1 million or more—currently dominate the market.
